Step into a world of scandal, intrigue, and enthralling passion as New
York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh sweeps us into the lives of
an extraordinary family: the Huxtables. Margaret, the eldest, embarks on
the most risqué adventure of her life and agrees to marry the most
notorious man in London....
Only desperation could bring Duncan Pennethorne, the infamous Earl of
Sheringford, back home after the spectacular scandal that had shocked
even the jaded ton. Forced to wed in fifteen days or be cut off
without a penny, Duncan chooses the one woman in London in frantic need
of a husband. A lie to an old flame forces Margaret Huxtable to accept
the irresistible stranger's offer. But once she discovers who he really
is, it's too late--she's already betrothed to the wickedly sensual
rakehell. Quickly she issues an ultimatum: If Duncan wants her, he must
woo her. And as passion slowly ignites, two people marrying for all the
wrong reasons are discovering the joys of seduction--and awaiting the
exquisite pleasure of what comes after....
